We are doing deep science research and innovation for societal impact
In a recent interview with The Hindu, C-CAMP Director-CEO, Dr. Taslimarif Saiyed spoke about C-CAMP's 15-year journey of enabling biotech breakthroughs & what’s next for India's innovations in the life sciences sector.
Excerpts..
“We are not merely talking about a promise. We have delivered and now have around 100 products developed at C-CAMP, which are in the market and making a real impact in people’s lives. But we are not stopping here. We have 400 more, which are on their way." as told by Dr. Taslimarif Saiyed, CEO and Director of C-CAMP to Shilpa Elizabeth from The Hindu. In this article, he also mentioned how developing something in the lab is amazing, but if it doesn’t get deployed in the market, that product is not useful. "That is the important thing that we are working on now. We help products get deployed in the market, understand the needs of the companies and the sector, and work with governments, government departments, FPOs and soon... If I may summarise, we are doing deep science research and innovation for societal impact."
"In India, very rightly so, ambitions are growing. At the government level, ambitions are growing to build new tech and new capabilities. The government clearly sees the value of entrepreneurship as a driver of change and innovation as the real driver within that. We have been, for long, importers of solutions. It is time to build new solutions.... If you come to C-CAMP, you feel there’s a lot of innovation. The best places have a critical mass of amazingly talented people. What C-CAMP is building is this critical mass of talented innovators"
